Excerpt -

BAGHDAD, Nov 21 (Reuters) - A U.S. air strike in Baghdad's Sadr City district killed at least three people on Tuesday when U.S.-led forces mounted their latest raid in the hunt for death squads and a kidnapped U.S. soldier, Iraqi officials said.

Warn the country that they will be subjected to Islam if the U.S. leaves before they get their act together.

That "supposed" kidnapped soldier is married to an Iraqi. I don't think this guy was kidnapped, I think he's out living the "good" life with his old lady. The officials need to find his wife or her relatives and then they will find the soldier. The United States military need to make a rule that no soldier will be allowed to marry middle eastern civilians while on deportment. This is just my opinion.

His wife was evacuated to a U.S. base, so he isn't with her.

Since he is an American soldier, you should give him at least the benefit of the doubt before making such allegations. If he was kidnapped, your statement is defamatory.

Don't you think the Army hasn't checked that possibility out?

When did he marry her? He is listed as being from Oregon..

Xacly. Conservatives were supposed to know the all the pitfalls of not fighting a war aggressively enough. Arggh. The elites and the rinos will be the death of us.

I will be searching for any news on Baghdad over the next couple of days. Our prayer team got information from a trusted source that there will be a move to go door to door to clear out snipers. This article seems related. It seems we expect to lose a lot of our guys in this sweep. I pray that this is successful and our guys get out ok. Our Lord is in charge of everything and His plan is carried out even if we don't understand it. Thank you.
